⚡ Quantum Brief
The Harbor Active Small Cap ETF underperformed the Russell 2000 Index in Q4 2025, posting a -4.29% return compared to the benchmark’s 2.19% gain, extending its streak of weak relative performance. Pool Corporation plunged 25.96% despite beating Q3 earnings, dragging down the ETF’s returns, while Middleby Corporation surged 11.59% after announcing a majority stake sale in its residential kitchen division. Management initiated a small position in Figure Technology Solutions, capitalizing on its post-IPO price stabilization, signaling confidence in the fintech sector’s long-term potential amid volatility. The ETF reduced consumer discretionary exposure by exiting CarMax entirely and trimming Warby Parker, reflecting a strategic shift away from struggling retail and auto stocks. Harbor Capital’s active adjustments highlight efforts to mitigate losses amid market headwinds, though the ETF’s performance lagged broader small-cap indices for the quarter.
